Old Elm Speaks: Tree Poems

This collection of poems celebrates the role of trees in nature and their importance in the lives of people and animals. Trees are hiding spots, places to hang hammocks, and homes for birds and squirrels. In the title poem, an old tree offers advice: "It is as I told you, Young Sapling./ It will take/ autumns of patience/ before you snag/ your/ first/ moon." Full-color art.
